I mean fear of deregulation. The truth is that we push politicians to do what we want.
As it stands, people are afraid to completely deregulate healthcare.
Funny enough, even though imo it is the only way. I do think money would stop it from becoming a movement. When’s the last time you saw a leader stand up and say “let’s dissolve XXX three letter agency!”? You don’t see it. Wonder why?
Last one I recall was Trump. Media did a number on him, so much so we can’t even discuss him without worrying about being attacked. Isn’t that something?

- semi-extrinsic 4y agoWhy this obsession with deregulation, it seems to be inconsistent with empirical evidence? Basically every first world country other than the US has better and cheaper healthcare, but they don't have any less regulation.
- notriddle 4y ago> As it stands, people are afraid to completely deregulate healthcare. The countries that America is compared to and found wanting aren't running completely deregulated healthcare. What makes them different?
